The Indie Rock Hit Parade returns to your personal space at 11pm ET tonight on 88.5 XPN. On tonight’s show, a smattering of brand new tracks, many of which from albums that’ll be out in the early weeks of 2017. Notably in the mix tonight are new selections from some very prolific psych-garage rockers, like SF mainstay Ty Segall, Aussie outsiders King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard (who’ll be releasing an obscene FIVE albums in the new year) and Thee Oh Sees, who just put out their third release of 2016. Also in the mix are favorites from St. Vincent, Honus Honus and Big Thief! Check out a few of those below…

Last week’s show featured a spotlight on Slugger, the solo debut from Speedy Ortiz leader Sadie Dupuis as Sad13! Check out the playlist on Spotify:

The Indie Rock Hit Parade simply can’t be stopped! We’ve got another full, two-hour show on tap for you tonight at 11pm ET on WXPN (which just so happens to be right after the September edition of What’s The Frequency??? with John Vettese, ya know). Make sure you’re tuned in, fired up and wigged out, because there’s a lot to get to this week. First and foremost, there’s our weekly Album Spotlight where, this time around, we’ll hear a couple of tracks from Here, the newly released 10th album from Scottish jangle-pop legends Teenage Fanclub. Here is a breezy delight, as you might expect. Also in the mix, we’ll get to the debut from outsider-popsters Ian Sweet, Jenn Wasner’s electrifying solo debut as Flock Of Dimes, and a punishingly epic track from the new Preoccupations album that features guest vocals (somewhere in the mix) from Wolf Parade/Operators guy Dan Boeckner. Preview some of the new stuff below…

On last week’s show, we celebrated the release of Angel Olsen‘s new album, My Woman, and we celebrated the XPN Long Hots Labor day weekend with a few supersized extended jams. Check out the playlist on Spotify:

See you tonight at 11pm ET for the Indie Rock Hit Parade on 88.5 WXPN!

The Indie Rock Hit Parade is headed your way tonight at 11pm ET on WXPN! Rather than duck in your indie rock-proof subterranean bunker, listen in for a full-two hour show that has some very interesting things going on. Since we’ll be knee-deep in our XPN Long Hots Labor Day Weekend special, we’ll hear a few supersized jams from Panda Bear and The Juan Maclean. We’ve got another Album Spotlight to get to; this time on the new album from chameleonic singer-songwriter Angel Olsen. My Woman, her third full-length, is a wild masterwork of ballads, boppers and rockers, and we’ll dig into it in the second hour of tonight’s show. In the mix you’ll also hear new tracks from Swedish politi-shoegazers The Radio Dept., Florida party-crashers Jacuzzi Boys and Montreal psych-conjurers Elephant Stone. Check out those tunes below…

On last week’s show, we heard selections from a newly released recording of the final show from the Athens, GA band Pylon. Check out the playlist on Spotify:

Folk and indie-rock singer, songwriter, and guitarist Angel Olsen releases her new album, My Woman on September 2nd. The highly anticipated followup to her critically acclaimed 2014 release Burn Your Fire For No Witness.

Raised in St. Louis, and currently living in Asheville, North Carolina, Olsen turns up her rock and roll side for this great new song, “Shut Up Kiss Me,” and a video that accompanies it where she’s having fun as a glitter wig wearing roller girl.

Olsen is back in Philly on September 14th when she headlines Union Transfer. Tickets and more info can be found at the XPN Concert Calendar and you can check out the video for “Shut Up Kiss Me” below.

Angel Olsen is certainly her own woman, as apparent in the name of her soon to be released LP My Woman. In her latest music video for the song “Shut Up Kiss Me,” Olsen takes any excuse to have a little fun.

Whether it’s donning a tinsel wig and seafoam green bomber jacket or being dragged across the roller rink just for the hell of it, this self-written and directed video is the perfect companion to the punchy track. Propped up at the bar or whizzing through backrooms, Olsen maintains a deviously sweet hold on the camera.

Exuding energy (I suddenly want to dig up my rollerblades and go for a spin) the video and new song are an exciting preview of what we can expect on Olsen’s new full-length. Set for release on September 2nd via Jagjaguwar, we hope Olsen’s metallic new do makes an appearance on her fall tour.

You can catch Olsen in Philly this September when she headlines Union Transfer on the 14th. Tickets and more info can be found at the XPN Concert Calendar and you can check out the video for “Shut Up Kiss Me” below.
